Shakil Choudhury
Other YWCA Racial Justice Training Opportunities
Is this the first time you’re thinking about racial justice? Start your journey
with our racial justice workshop series.
This workshop explores the
role that culture plays in
communicating and resolving
(or escalating) conflicts across
racial lines. With a focus on
racial and ethnic diversity in the
United States, participants in this
workshop will learn about verbal
and non-verbal communication
and conflict styles.
This workshop is an external
examination of how racism is
embedded in the historical legacy
of the U.S. laws, economy,
housing markets, and institutions,
including criminal justice and
educational systems. By
considering this historical legacy,
participants will understand the
impact past policies still have on
society today.
This workshop offers the
opportunity for internal exploration
by combining constructive
dialogue with interactive
activities. We explore the subtle
and overt behaviors stemming
from bias that take many forms:
personal, interpersonal, cultural,
institutional, and systemic.
Level 100:
Communicating
Across Cultures
Level 200:
Deconstructing
Racism
Level 300:
Exploring Privilege
For an intensive and cumulative
learning experience, the YWCA
Madison offers a racial justice
certificate program for participants
who attend all three racial
justice courses and complete
assignments between each level.
Fall Series Schedule
Level 100: September 14, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Level 200: October 12, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Level 300: November 9, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
All sessions will be held at the YWCA Empowerment Center, located at
3101 Latham Drive.

Creating Equitable Organizations Training
According to research by the Kellogg Foundation businesses with a more diverse workforce have more
customers, higher revenues and profits, greater market share, less absenteeism and turnover, and a higher
level of commitment to their organization. We invite you to partner with the YWCA Madison to cultivate
a thriving and diverse organizational culture. Training covers a variety of topics, including: basic cultural
competency and cross-cultural communication skills, understanding racial inequalities and disparities, and
exploring the roles we can all play in advancing equal access to opportunity. More information is online at
ywcamadison.org/equitytraining.
The YWCA Madison thanks racial justice program friends for their continued support: Center for Family Policy and
Practice, Dane County Office of Equal Opportunity, The Road Home Dane County, Seeking Tolerance and Justice
Over Hate, UW Department of Family Medicine and Community Health, and UW-Madison Police Department.
